setting passwords via an adsi script is trivial. it's just a couple lines of code, literally.

I think the tough point he brought up is he wanted to also set the passwords for each account. My understanding it is not straight forward using scripts for AD. Hence the need for some 3rd party App. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Webb, Andy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 14, 2002 4:05 PM Subject: RE: Bulk creating Exchange 2000 mailboxes with CSVDE or ??? You can't do it with a csv unless you also write the script that reads the csv. I know I have a script around here somewhere that does it. There's one on our web site that will create a single mailbox. easy to modify for lots. I'll see if I can dig up the one that does lots and post that too. (http://www.swinc.com/resource/scripts.htm) All my scripts use perl instead of VB. There are VB samples around too on MSDN and the Comp^h^h^h^hHP ActiveAnswers web site (actually a good little set of scripts is available there). ======================================================= Andy Webb [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.swinc.com Simpler-Webb, Inc.

Subject: Bulk creating Exchange 2000 mailboxes with CSVDE or ??? I have a test server that I am trying to create a bunch of mailboxes (user1, user2, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) in order to do some benchmarking on the server. All I want to do is create mailboxes with unique email addresses (which requires an accompanying AD user account I believe) and I would like to also give them some default password if possible. I have been experimenting with CSVDE but so far I have only created disabled accounts which have no exchange mailbox. Does anyone know what the minimum amount of info I can put in the CSV file to accomplish this?
